Siobhan Smith (27 May 1962 - 7 Jan 2026)

I never thought I would be writing this message in memory of my dearest friend Siobhan.
Siobhan, you were truly one in a million, very funny, quirky and full of love and laughter. We have spent many breakfasts together at Ocean Beach, one of your favourite places to eat,chatting and laughing. Then of course all the evenings spent together and weekends away to Potters with the rest of the WrecKs. I shall miss you so much my darling. I shall raise a glass of fizzy pop tomorrow in your honour my darling Siobhan.
Sending my love to Paul, Louise, Emily and rest of the family.

I wish I could tell you how much you meant to me dear Siobhan - I’m just so grateful I met you, and feel blessed to have had you come into my life. Your energy and tom-foolery never failed to make me smile. Whilst doing your nails, we shared many a laugh together, and surprisingly, all without even a single drop of fizzy pop passing our lips! You would usually wrap up our giggles with an “oh dear”. I miss that wicked sense of humour of yours. Then there was your kindness. I don’t think you realised just how caring you were, you always made a difference. So my dear Siobhan, I’ve decided that in your honour, your favourite nail colour - Big Apple Red, from now on, will be known as Siobhan’s Vegas Red…your two passions - red nails and Las Vegas! You will always hold a special place in my heart and I will remember you forever. Never will I watch National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation without thinking of you lovely lady xxx

With over forty years of friendship, where we have laughed, cried, worried, relaxed , shared advice and imparted knowledge and learnt , in those early years how to be mothers together- a steep learning curve for us all!
I shall miss you dear friend with all my heart and our regular Rayleigh night ‘catch ups’ will never be the same without you Siobhan with your smiling face and infectious laughter . You have a magical ability to ‘lift people’s sadness and make everything for everyone more bearable. ❤️❤️❤️

One of my funniest and memorable moments sharing a stage with her at Potters! Fun,fun, and fun. Miss you
